UNSPSC 50423911: Dried tindoori gourds

The variety of gourds known as tindoori gourds that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423911 Dried tindoori gourds is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no alignment with tindoori gourds; instead, they reflect solicitations for institutional dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — and broader food-service products for corrections, schools, and child-care facilities. State and local governments buy bulk dried legumes under this code primarily for institutional meal preparation in correctional facilities, state educational institutions, and child and adult care programs. The scope spans triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans meeting food-safety and institutional-cooking standards, often specified with moisture limits, foreign-material thresholds, and shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies or institutions, municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and boys and girls clubs operating publicly funded meal programs. Solicitation volumes range from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, with delivery typically required FOB destination to central distribution points or meal-service sites.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026, increments of 880 bags); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors); and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products including dried beans across multiple warehouse locations (Solicitation 304T26300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026 via addendum). The City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) includes dried beans among five supply categories and applies a 5% local-vendor preference for City of Edinburg bidders. The State of Oregon's mid-August solicitation for dried black beans (Solicitation S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) targets institutional use. Pricing is typically all-inclusive with delivery and fuel surcharges incorporated into bid lines; awards generally go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder on a per-line-item or single-vendor basis.
